The fees for a credential report and the length of time to get one can vary and can change without notice. Each assessment organization sets their cost for a credential evaluation.

For most people the cost is about $200 plus the cost to have it delivered. Delivery costs depend on the country or how you choose it to be sent. Delivery with courier being the most expensive.

You will need to contact the respective assessment organization in order to find out how much it will cost. The turn around time to get your credentials evaluated is also different for each organization.

  • Diploma evaluation: $85
  • Course by course evaluation: $149

The additional fees may include:

  • Rush services: Varies from company to company.
  • 3 day Service: +$100
  • Same day service: $195

  • Overnight delivery: +$25
  • 2nd day courier delivery: +$15

For most of the companies, the fee is not refundable and is subject to change.
